Sprint Brings DRM-Free Music to Your Smartphone

Sprint this week announced Sprint Music Plus, a new music app that lets you purchase and play music, albums, ringtones and ringback tones on your Sprint smartphone. Because let's face it, most people don't leave home without their mobile phone, but they may leave behind their MP3 player. With Sprint Music Plus, that doesn't matter. You have access to full music tracks and more on your phone, no matter where you are!

The Sprint Music Plus app allows you to quickly purchase bundles too. Want the full track, ringtone and ringback tone of a song you love? You can buy all three with just one click. DRM-free full tracks range from $0.69 to $1.29 per song and charges are added to your Sprint bill. And with Sprint's 4G network you can expect download speeds of up to 10 times faster than 3G.

Sprint Music Plus is powered by RealNetworks and allows you to:

• Create music playlists.
• Assign ringback tones to play for different callers and times of day.
• Search for music by artist, title or keyword.
• Organize full tracks/albums by artist, genre and custom playlists using the music library manager.
• Preview content – sample millions of music tracks and tones, which are updated daily.
• Get new music recommendations based on their musical tastes.

Sprint Music Plus is available for Android powered Sprint smartphones from the Sprint Zone app and can be found on the home screen of BlackBerry and Java Feature Phones launched after May 2010. Devices introduced before May 2010 will have access to ringtones and ringback tones from Sprint Music Plus via Sprint Mobile Web (WAP).
